I ask because I heard a [former baptist who became ] catholic speculate that millions leave and join the catholics everyday. He stated that most who leave were never up on their faith and those who join have done their homework.

gay lobby in the vatican?
by Hortensia inhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22869399.
look at the slant given to this news:.
in the days leading up to pope benedict xvi's resignation in february, the italian media carried many un-sourced reports that gay vatican clergymen had been working together to advance their personal interests, leaving the holy see vulnerable to blackmail.. or gay vatican clergymen have been working to overcome the church's hatred of gays?.

Lying for the theocratic warfare
by Gorbatchov inbecause of growing up in the jw religion we heared and read many experiences and encouragement for lying when nesscesary / needed for the theocratic warfare.
.
personaly i think this is totaly wrong and has had some effects on me: i feel that i can lie easily at work and sometimes in our family affairs.. a kind of creatively using truth and untruth.. i don't do it often but i recognize this fact.. so, this jw religion standards are measurability wrong.. gorby.

Do you blame Jehovah, Yahweh, God, Jesus, etc. for the corruption of the borg?
by Fading Begins indo you hold god accountable for the corruption of the borg?
i've noticed there seems to be a bitterness, by some, that includes "god" in the equation, when discussing the borg and their policies, the governing body, elders actions, etc.
do the borg's transgressions originate with god, or does he feel the same disgust as we do?

Freedom!!! We all have freedom. The freedom to believe what ever we want to believe. That's why some believe in God and others don;t. but , of course, our freedom doesn;t end there, does it?
Hitler had freedom and people were free to follow him too.
Freedom to love or hate people, things, ideas or whatever.
I blame freedom, but what else could you do, remove freedom?

Tater T= there are literally thousands of ancient copies of manuscripts OT copies, but you are correct that there are no originals.
The reason could be that most traditions and stories ALL started orally before they could be written.
